AMV was able to move us coast-to-coast in a challenging, post-pandemic time when other companies couldn't even provide quotes. Everything - furniture (including a piano), boxes of all weights and sizes and other items arrived safely and promptly (actually, early). Veteran driver/foreman David Thornton was communicative and trustworthy. Unbelievably, we were charged $1000 LESS than what we were expecting! We would have been in a bad situation if not for AVL.

I spoke with Richard P. From American Van lines moving company about a potential cross country move I am considering. Richard was kind, patient, NOT PUSHY, extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all of the questions I had regarding a small move (based on the items I have planned to take.). He went through the apartment room by room and asked what to expect to be moving and even though I didn’t have all of the answers as I am still downsizing what I own and what I plan to take, he was able to give me accurate quotes for both situations: if I took my mattress or not, etc. He also looked for discounts regarding moving my artwork that is quite large, and gave me several options on if I wanted to have them boxed, wrapped or other and gave me pricing for each option. I was referred to this moving company by a friend who recently relocated to Florida and I can see why she used them. They are accurate, truthful, tell you what to expect and also what to be wary of (brokers). While I did not book my move with them for the time being, Richard went over and above to refer me to a car relocation service that he trusted hands down and had used personally for his own vehicles in the past. I spoke with him on the phone for just under an hour and he was incredibly patient and friendly. I never felt that he was aiming to close the sale, and that’s a rarity in the moving/ retail industry. He was not at all upset that I didn’t book my move with them because I still had so much to figure out in terms of my possessions and logistics. I would absolutely recommend this company for the simple reason of RESPECT and their personable staff. He was realistic, honest and told me that while their services aren’t the cheapest, they are guaranteed and that is reflected in the price. I would pay the extra money to work with a company I can trust with my belongings, a company that hires people like Richard who spends ample time on the phone with potential clients like me and makes the interaction enjoyable as well as put me at peace. Please give this man a raise. He is fantastic and does a fabulous job representing your company! Thank you!

Factors that Affect the Cost of Moving from Tennessee to North Dakota

There's no single set price for a move, since costs depend on a handful of important details. Here are the biggest factors that can influence your overall moving quote.

  • Timing of your move: Moving during the busy season, especially summer, often comes with higher rates. Pricing can also increase on weekends and around the start and end of the month.
  • Professional vs. DIY: Your choice between DIY and full-service moving impacts more than just the price tag. DIY can reduce upfront costs, but you take on the packing and heavy lifting, while American Van Lines handles the hard parts for you and helps you avoid the extra hassle.
  • Exact distance: The farther you move, the more you can expect to pay. Even small mileage changes between origins and destinations can shift your quote.
  • Size of move: More rooms and more items typically mean higher costs since your move requires more labor, more time, and a larger amount of truck space.
